I think dropping weights on them counts as "treating them badly", but I'm no expert.

Well we’ve not come this far by listening to experts, silly.

Well as I said, in both cases it was an unfortunate accident haha. I know how I treat my stuff, and badly isn't it!

are we talking full bars or just plates?

[–] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Dumbells of all things. Both, badly placed as I set it down. In one case, tipped over onto the bottom of my phone. The second, rolled across the floor onto the edge of the phone, destroying the hinge. Suuuuper miffed, now keep phones at least 2m from anything heavy that moves (yes, I had the same thought lol)

Where do you live that people give out plates of candy for Halloween?

I heard some phones enjoy it. Whether it's true or not, I couldn't say.
